The behavior has switched a few times now. There's no good answer here. It's impossible to determine intent simply by page_len being equal to 0. I tend to agree with Krinkle that it's better to be cautious here. Even the "redundant" messages getting deleted makes me a little sad, given how useful some of that page history can be (including being linked from active bug reports). But I understand that it's better future-proofing.
